History[]
The Atlantique was made between 1988 and 1992, and they entered service in '89. They are still in service today. A modified Atlantique, it had only three carriages, made a top speed of 310 mph (500 km/h) just before the opening of the LGV Atlantique.
105 bi-current Atlantique trainsets have been produced.
